                <ul>
                    <li>Education</li>
                    <li>Health</li>
                    <li>Sanitation</li>

                <h3>Education</h3>
                <p>
                    Education makes a society perfect with respect, tolerance, care of others rights and economically self-reliant. Pakistan Government have attempted to implement a comprehensive program for providing modern educational facilities to the children with the purpose to not only minimize the divide between the rich and the poor but the children from financially poor community will also be able to acquire modern education and play their due role in national development and prosperity. Despite setting such objectives, the efforts made to address these objectives are remain futile. One of the major reasons is allocation of diminutive budget to education sector, quality of available resources because and dearth of motivation causing such low participation in education.  TESDO brings deep domain expertise to play its role and to uphold the basic education among the financially marginalized community in southern and northern Punjab.
                </p>
                <p>
                    TESDO provides opportunity to intelligent and deserving students with a platform where financially poor community of Punjab get enroll they can improve their education and competency and motivate to interact with others in pursuit of Education. There is a conspicuous yearning and demand for education in Pakistan, especially amongst the lower-middle class and the poor.  However, major challenge is to convince financially poor community to investment education of their children without providing some alternatives. TESDO aims to improve the quality of the delivery of basic education in Punjab province especially in marginalized vicinities of Northern and Southern Punjab to increases the enrollment ratio in schools. TESDO in conjunctions with other concerned agencies is determined is to promote easy access to basic education through its efforts to promote enrollment ratio in schools. Such efforts include Sponsorships, School Supplies, Stationary, to deserving and underprivileged students in government run schools.

                <h3>Health</h3>
                <p>
                    Safe drinking water, sanitation and good hygiene are fundamental to health, survival, growth and development. However, these necessities are still a luxury for many of the world’s poor people. Over 1.1 billion of our fellow citizens do not use drinking water from improved sources, while 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Safe drinking water and basic sanitation are so obviously essential to health that they risk being taken for granted. Efforts to prevent death from diarrhoea or to reduce the burden of such diseases as ascaris, dracunculiasis, hookworm, schistosomiasis and trachoma are doomed to failure unless people have access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. Lack of basic sanitation indirectly inhibits the learning abilities of millions of school-aged children who are infested with intestinal worms transmitted through inadequate sanitation facilities and poor hygiene. TESDO is determined to facilitate government department and non-government agencies in providing clean water and health facilities in southern and Northern Punjab both at Urban and Rural level.
